"I'm getting too old for these. Puzzles in this one simply defeated me while other people seemed to have no problem. I'll give it the benefit of the doubt and assume it was my fault not the builder's. What I know without a doubt though, is the maps were seriously underlit and after several hours of playing my eyes are rather tired." - DJ Full (01-Feb-2023) |

| "A great project, I think the author worked a lot of hours to finish it. The architecture and texturization are impressive; wow! the best I've seen in the tr custom levels I've played, so the environments are fantastic. The lighting is very well worked too, as the cameras and cool musics. The rooms are very well ornated, will all kind of details and objects, and the pickups were enough (except the flares). Some tasks are hard, but finally I was able to finish without help (the puzzles in the jungle temple and in the globe room in the final level were too "obscure"). The only problem here is the gameplay in some levels, specially in the three towers level and in the last level; the author lets you advance through huge areas even if you have not the necessary items to keep going on, so many times I found closed doors, reload savegames or take backtracking and repeat the same tasks and movements to go back to the same places and continue playing. Example: in the last level I reached the final receptacle without the Crystal's Base, so I had to explore all the entire level again (surprisingly I missed a receptacle for one of the gems in the pool room) to get that item and take all the long way back to the very top of the final room repeating the same movements and crossing the lava room again. Even so the whole game, all in all is very worh to play and keeps the interest from the start to the very end. Recommended, but not for beginners." - Jose (06-Apr-2022) |

| "This levelset has limited pistol ammo, which is always a risky move. I like that it rewards exploration, but the only recourse when ammo runs out is to keep running away from enemies pecking away at your health. It makes the beginning of the adventure pretty difficult, but there is enough ammo to be found that it shouldn't be a huge issue after a few levels. There are a fair number of obstacles, including rotating blades, flames, falling floor tiles, a giant statue, a giant skull head, and a t-rex (that sadly dies in one shot). There are three puzzles as well, starting with a nice pushable puzzle with shapes. The math puzzle I also enjoyed, although it wasn't obvious that switches for both the constant and variable values should be pulled. I don't know what happened with the globe puzzle and how it got so botched; whenever cardinal directions are used as a clue, it's natural for the player to reference the compass, but the clue's directions seem to be shifted off by 90 degrees for some reason. The last level has a bit of backtracking in store if Lara missed part of the orange crystal. The only other complaint I have is that some switches lack camera cues. The visuals are great, a little dark sometimes but with nicely varied lighting and strong geometrical ideas, including of course the iconic rock skull. 2 hours 59 minutes." - JesseG (08-Oct-2021) |

| "Overall this was a really excellent level set. I was particularly impressed with the
outdoor landscape which was expansive and realistic. Now I was able to easily jump up
the hills to eventually reach the end of the world occasionally in the 3 Towers, but the
level of detail in big areas that weren't supposed to be reached was amazing and a
testament to the builders diligence. The platforming and atmosphere was engrossing with
good variation in gameplay. The only gripe I had was with a couple of the puzzles. The
puzzles themselves were well constructed but the clues were not very helpful,
particularly the globe one. Otherwise a really nice effort." - Adrian (26-Sep-2021) |

| "I had a love-hate relationship with this epic adventure throughout much of the four hours
and fifteen minutes it took for me to make it all the way through. In many respects it's
simply outstanding, one of the best raids in recent memory. The seven levels are closely
related so that you're really playing a single game in stages. The outdoor portions are
lifelike and immersive and nonlinear in the extreme, so much so in fact that I wouldn't
dream of attempting to play without a walkthrough close at hand, not only to help me know
what to do next but where to go (and in what direction) to do it. What kept me from fully
enjoying the game was the oppressive darkness that prevails nearly from start to finish. I
don't know why one should need flares while playing outdoors under blue and nearly
cloudless skies, but that was my experience. I manufactured an unlimited supply for myself
in the very early going. Of course, by doing that I got everything else as well, and on a
positive note this eliminated the need for taking many of the time-consuming side trips
for incidental pickups that Dutchy documents in his typically thorough walkthrough. The
best segment for me was undoubtedly the last one, "Temple's Secret," which not only had
the player-friendliest lighting but the most inventive gameplay. If this level had been
released as a standalone it may have gotten top marks from me. The game as a whole is a
remarkable achievement, but much of that intangible "fun factor" was missing for me
because of the reasons stated." - Phil (14-Sep-2021) |

"GAMEPLAY & PUZZLES: This game, which consists of 7 levels, took me 3 hours and 36 minutes to
complete. Gameplay is focused heavily on platforming, which was the most entertaining part of
the game for me. Although many of the jumps are relatively easy to perform, it is not always
apparent where you are supposed to jump, forcing you to constantly analyze your surrounding and
plan which route to take. There are also jumps that are on a trickier side (jumps over
collapsible tiles in the lava room of the last level) but, nevertheless, I found none of the
platforming too difficult. In contrast, the two push block puzzles, first in level 4 (Dino
Temple) and second in level 7 (Temple’s Secret), were some of the hardest puzzles I have seen
so far. Even though, these puzzles are brilliant and not impossible to solve by any means, the
clues for the puzzles are vague. I had several hypotheses about the possible meaning of these
clues but testing all the hypotheses would have taken some much time that I decided to look for
the solution in the walkthrough. Unlike these push block puzzles, the switch puzzle including
the numbers in the last level was perfect and contained sufficient clues. More puzzles like
this would have been better in my opinion.
ENEMIES, OBJECTS & SECRETS: Throughout the
game, you will face multiple enemies including various animals (T-Rex was a nice addition),
natives and horsemen. The ammo for all the weapons is limited, but as the Author states in
readme, there is plenty of ammo available if you look for it carefully. Important thing to
notice is that in order to acquire other weapons besides the pistols, you have to accomplish
some additional quests. You also need some of these additional weapons to have enough fire
power, but luckily they are not so difficult to find if you pay attention to the surroundings.
Decorative objects are nicely chosen and the secrets are well hidden, since I only found 5 out
of 16 secrets.
ATMOSPHERE, SOUND & CAMERAS: Atmosphere is very strong and it is achieved
with the use of great background music, which has mysterious and sort of moody sound. Cameras
were used also well to showcase the areas and to give hints where to go.
TEXTURES &
LIGHTING: Textures and light effects are applied flawlessly although I would have preferred
slightly more colorful lighting in many places. However, this is just my personal preference
and I think that Author did great job with creating aesthetically pleasing environments.
Moreover, I liked that during the game, you traverse through variety of areas ranging from wide
canyons filled with temples to an underground lake and a temple interior.
CONCLUSIONS: I
warmly recommend this set of levels to everybody and especially to players who enjoy
platforming-based gameplay. If you are a fan of highly challenging puzzles, this game has also
few of those to offer. All in all, great work." - Samu (18-Aug-2021) |

| "Seven levels, six of which mostly take place in a well constructed, realistic and
beautiful jungle environment. The main gameplay here is exploration. The areas are
vast and the possible paths to take are numerous, some paths take us further on, some
other are leading to precious ammo well hidden under the vegetation. Sometimes it
becomes exhausting because there are hardly visible monkeyswings or cracks on the
rocks or crawlspaces, but the visuals and the immersive atmosphere are so good that
kept me going. We finally reach a castle where the progression is pretty much
straight forward but the gameplay becomes more challenging. I specifically liked the
room with lava, breaking tiles and a temperature metre. There are only a few enemies:
natives, snakes, dinos etc, a T-Rex and that bloody friendly monkey that hates
savegames and corrupts them lol. There is a boss fight at the end but if you know the
tricks, he is easily defeated. There are also several interesting puzzles, two of
which had rather obscure hints. Well, nothing that a WT can't solve but I must admit
that even with the solution in hand, I must have fried at least a couple billions of
brain cells before I understood the logic behind the puzzle. lol I also liked the
fixed cameras (you can break them with the look button) that are there to actually
help the player. Texturing was very good and the lighting realistic: the upper areas
are more sunny, while the areas below have a more dim lighting. What I didn't like
was the limited pistol ammo. This is always a very very very bad idea. Even if the
player doesn't run out of ammo (as I did), they will most probably reload every time
they feel they can do better, and reloading gradually spoils the immersion. In
conclusion, this is a very good multilevel game that grows on you as you progress and
I would recommend it to the higher tier of the average players, or above, as it has
some challenging moments." - billie2001 (24-Jul-2021) |

| "This level set takes place mostly in the jungle, and then in a castle. There's a major
difference between the feel of the parts too... In the first levels (80% of the game,
say) you spend most of the time trying to find rather complicated paths and ammo - one
has to note the pistol ammo is limited, and finding ammo plays a major role. You bump
into several secret dragons as well. To be perfectly honest, perhaps even blunt, I found
it quite on the dull side, just not dull enough to make me quit. As they say, it's
complicated, even though I enjoyed my brief encounter with the T-Rex... The castle
(strangely enough, not a jungle type of castle) is a different story. There are a few
enemies, including one of those skeleton heads, several traps, and a very interesting
timed run - and still hard orientation. There are also a few puzzles I wish hadn't been
so smart. Concerning the settings and the graphics in general, I thought the game was
rather well designed, and I was impressed. I wouldn't call it player friendly though, as
I found it counterintuitive. It has good reviews, so do give it a try." - Jorge22 (20-Jul-2021) |

| "A lengthy, varied and enjoyable game that
actually gets progressively more
challenging as you go through. The first
half is remarkably placid and based
primarily on utilising Lara's agility and
manoeuvres, interspersed with the
occasional tricky puzzle or timed run (and
the enemies don't pose a huge threat), but
the surroundings are absolutely stunning
and the exploration factor is always fair
on the player so you're never stuck for
too long. I for one thoroughly enjoyed
searching out the right direction to go
(often closer than you would think). The
action then kicks into high gear once you
enter the temple proper, with a lot more
cerebral activity and action. The trap
sequences are often quite numerous and
tricky but not insurmountable and there's
nice usages of various hub room concepts
and re-entering familiar rooms but from
different directions, which I always
enjoy. I did find a couple of the puzzles
throughout on the obscure side though, the
first being the movable piece puzzle
nearer the beginning which didn't quite
seem to match up with the clues given and
the second being the other globe puzzle.
Although the coordinates were relatively
clear, what wasn't so obvious was that you
had to move them where the two points meet
rather than actually moving them the
amount of actual spaces. The secrets were
nice touches though, and the music was
always well used and never intrusive.
Definitely a well constructed game." - Ryan (09-Jul-2021) |

| "I should have read the Important_Readme file as i ran quickly out of pistols ammos in
the first level to kill a snake, but on second exploration of this jungle area i
found some more. Yep the first levels are based mostly on exploration and as the file
says there is enough of ammos to be found also medipacks and flares. The pistols and
uzis clips are sometimes hard to see , often hidden in plants or bushes so the player
takes the habbit to check every plant and bush along all levels (jungle, mountains
and caves , small temples, underground lake) safe the last one taking place in a type
of gothic castle. Little by little the exploration and searching became quite
engrossing. It ressembles a bit like real life as sometimes there is two different
ways to reach the same point or some of the things you do are not that important in
the greatest scheme of things, except it rewards you with the little joy of finding
goodies, or not all enemies will show up according of which way you came from or
pickups you have just collected. There are many interesting things to do in this
progression with enjoyable jumps and platforming in general. I remember a couple of
timed doors. The puzzle with the movable pawns is not evident but it is excellent.
The architecture , shaping of the blocks and texturing are very good , only in one
level (skull temple) there is that large area with wallpaper effect texturing. I
guess the builder has also tried to bring realism to the lighting, in many outside
areas you have a sunny side and a shaddy side (with no sun bulb). The background
audios are not natural sounds but for once i like them. Some action audios last much
longer than the action. Not too many enemies , generally of the small kind but there
also some bigger ones, and in the end you have plenty of ammos to deal with them. It
is preferable to find the grenade gun though. I enjoyed a lot the great runs with
collapsible tiles and the maths puzzle in the last level, a bit less the last puzzle
with the globes. I also appreciated that the final boss did not took very long.
Summary : an immersive game, more and more enjoyable as you progress in it." - eRIC (09-Jul-2021) |

| "I very much enjoyed this level, especially
the first 6 levels. The theming for the level
was amazing. It felt like a location that
hadn't been touched in years, really felt
like a tomb the entire location. A place time
forgot, just waiting to be discovered.
However, there were some problems that at
times took me out of the experience and
frustrated me from time to time, for example:
in level 4 there is a crawl space that is
easy to miss and hard to find. Also, some of
the puzzles, like the chess piece puzzle was
quite hard to understand with the clue, and had to use TR
View in order to see which tiles I needed
exactly, not only that, but the globe puzzle
was also difficult to understand without a
walkthrough. The puzzles were clever, just
could have been better.
What I loved was the attention to theming in
the first 6 levels, the clever secrets and
the need to conserve bullets - really nice
gameplay there.
What I disliked was the final level, just
didn't like the castle look, I feel it should
have looked more TR3 Puna like, the current
version looks too medieval, and 2 of the
puzzles just irked me.
Conclusion - I loved this level set a lot and
it is definitely one of my favorites. I hope
this builder keeps building levels because he
is very talented. For future reference
though, please improve the hints in the
puzzles as they were pretty tough in this
one. Other than that, brilliant game." - JimmyBeon (01-Jul-2021) |

| "This builder has made great progress in two years. I sincerely congratulate with him and I hope reviewers will reward his work. In this multilevel game there's a lot of exploration to do, few enemies and some hard-to-solve puzzles. Six levels are set in the jungle, the last level is inside the temple (it's a weird change of setting because the temple has a castle design and after 6 levels in the jungle you don't expect it) Someone may contest that maps are big but there's little to do. Well, exploration is exploration... if you don't find anything at least you enjoy the beautiful landscape. Don't you? Indeed, the most entertaining thing in the first 6 levels is to find the correct spot to climb. For some people this may be frustrating but for me is very entertaining. As technical note, I loved the new animations but I loved less the background music, sometimes too much hypnotic. The final credits are very beautiful but they are 1/3 of the whole game in size. Luckily the 56k modem era is over." - Teone (30-Jun-2021) |
